I am going to make the radical statement that Crockett and Talerico were both great candidates who both ran positive campaigns that excited many people who turned out to vote, and this is a good thing. In fact, this is what should happen regularly.

Happy 189th Birthday, Chicago!

Oklahoma legislature advances bill that would remove tenure at OU, public universities The Oklahoma legislature advanced a bill Tuesday that would remove the possibility of tenure for OU faculty, limit contract agreements to five years and require each state institute for higher

“Abolishing tenure cripples scientific & creative research...

This sends a strong message that top-tier academics seeking employment at Oklahoma universities should look elsewhere immediately. Why pursue a job here under such a repressive climate?”

— Michael Givel, OU AAUP President

I have reached “having back spasms” years old.

James Talarico: Are you aware that this bill removes the writings of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.?

Republican: Yes

Talarico: Yet this bill still includes the writings of Alexis de Tocqueville, and he's not even an American. Could that be because he's a white man?

Republican: N-not exactly…

This is a graph of the death of US science.

In NYC?

WTF did I do to my back yesterday? Thank goodness I carry Motrin in my purse. #OldLadySkeet

I am so angry about the "AI literacy" branding. If refusing to engage with the plagiarism/brain smoothing/sycophancy device means I'm illiterate, I guess I'll have to console myself with the real books I *can* read

That I can have opinions and be a great bossy leading woman and find a man who will play it up for the public but stand beside me on everything forever

A wall full of mugs arranged in such a way that it looks like the mugs are repeating themselves, creating an uncomfortable illusion

Woe, wall of astigmatism be upon ye

Help Kelly Pannek

This one is for a REAL need and imma hopeful that an auto company gonna step up. KELLY PANNEK from the women’s hockey team got hits by someone who totaled her car. She needs a new car.

Lots of brands commenting that they want to help,, but few truly stepping up. Who can help,??

Is this the cover for @kkdumez.bsky.social's new book? 🧐

My condolences to your family.

She Got Game weekend. July 16-19. Las Vegas.

Some highlights:
-Authorizes appropriations for five years for OAR’s weather labs and cooperative institutes, plus related weather research efforts.
-Renews and authorizes appropriations for five years for VORTEX-USA.
-Furthers HFIP, with a renewed emphasis on social sciences. (1/n)

Here’s Time Magazine starting the air conditioning wars early (motherfuckers, it’s still winter, you cannot kick off that specious argument until June), so to repeat as we do every year:
Heat kills.
AC is 3-5x more efficient than heat.
AC works GREAT on solar power.
It’s not driving climate change.

But if you look up “pronk” does it say “another term for “stot”?

My understanding is that there will be no new suppliers, not no new supplies for patients. Is that not the case?

James Talarico: I frankly am tired of the "thoughts and prayers" rhetoric.

I believe in the power of prayer. But there is something profoundly cynical about asking God to solve a problem that we're not willing to solve ourselves.

The time for thoughts and prayers is over. It's time for us to act.

Lol.

My favorite part of the "prediction markets" is that we've had a growing number of people get aggressive with our forecasts being slightly off, or calling us to try and influence a temp reading, and it is usually obvious they are betting on some bullshit on these sites.

A reminder that white nationalism isn't just abhorrent, it's stupid.

One of the most tangibly lifesaving efforts of @standupforscience.bsky.social to date was to send an on-the-ground investigator to Guinea Bissau to understand the context of the unethical &CDC funded Hep B infant vaccines study.

We presented to a packed room of horrified House and Senate folks.

Thunder?

@deeplycloudy.bsky.social This looks campus-y?

To be clear, A(14) is fully vaccinated, his exposure (if any) would have been minimal, and his symptoms don’t match at this point.

Googling measles symptoms because A(14) is not feeling well and has potentially been exposed to it from someone in the city youth orchestra. America is so great again.
